No.
Mayorgas heavy punches made Forrest wilt and fight cautious. Vernon walked through Mosleys. De La Hoya has stated that Mayorga has "very heavy hands" but hes never comented on Shanes power. Shane is quick but he doesnt hit as hard as Ricardo
Spinks ate Taylors punches up but got dropped by Mayorga. Vargas got dropped twice by Mayorga but Mosley couldnt.

hahaha what punches? there were like 20 punches combined the entire fight, Mayorga beat a shot Vargas with a fucked up back by Majority Decision, Mosley won by stoppage, then by a ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT in the rematch! only guy he beat by KO which is a standout is Forrest who didn't take the fight seriously, nice try though
lol Mosley def did a better job on Vargas in the second fight. Knocked him clean out.
Mayorga beat Forrest TWICE. Deal with it.
Now do you remember the Cotto vs. Ricardo Torres fight ?
Cotto got dropped hard twice in that one, and Mayorga is A LOT like Torres except bigger, tougher, and better.
And that was Cotto in his prime at 140, not the Cotto of now.
Mayorga has a real chance in this fight. You don't want to believe it because you are such a die hard Cotto fan. But Mayorga is capable of beating him.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

yea i do remember the Cotto/Torres fight, i know you don't cause you said it your self you haven't watched ANY of Cotto's fights, he was dropped ONCE, the first knockdown of his career, and he ended up dropping Torres twice and KO'ing him with a body shot, Torres also has both better speed and technique than Mayorga, and i'm leaving it there, make sure to log on and take your pokes once Cotto wrecks Mayorga
To me Cotto got pretty Lucky against Mosley and Clotty with the decisions i thought he lost both. Also i think people are forgetting just how bad a beating he has taken form Margarito and Pac. He does not have the chin or the power of Oscar El and he also does not poses Oscars speed as well dude. So i am kinda of confused on why you are bringing up Oscar fight because they are not alike at all.

I rewatched the Spinks-Mayorga fight and had it a draw 113-113. The commentary was pretty biased (Chris Byrd/Haymon). The ref was kind of biased but Mayorga was holding and hitting. The things I didnt agree with was the deduction for hitting after the bell it wasnt that late, and the ref jumped in late. As soon as he got in Mayorga didnt throw. Spinks lunges in with the head anytime they got close and he gave some headbutts. Also that causes the ref to immediately break them, he was like Cortez with the breaks. Two "slips" that could have been knockdowns, especially the one in the 12th round where Mayorga clearly hit him with a body shot. Just because Cory was flopping around doesnt mean that its not a kd. If a guy is off balance and you hit him thats a knock down most of the time. One time he leans back so much that he falls.

seems you forgot that the beating he took from Margarito was most likely with loaded gloves and a broken nose from the 2nd round on, same play you put on Cotto not being like Oscar i can say on Mayorga being NOTHING like Margarito and much less Pacquiao, both guys have better boxing ability (although Margarito is limited), Pacquiao has blazing speed Mayorga doesn't, people are seriously starting to undersell or de-credit Cotto based on a fight he was cheated in, and a fight he fought with no corner, i've said it once and i'll say it again, he's going to surprise a lot of people this year with how much he still has left

For those not only in this thread but also in other threads that say Cotto is done...
A shitload of you said that he was done after the Margarito fight that he would go on to lose the next fight.
He went on to win 2 fights... Not the highest caliber of fighters but nonetheless wins.
He loses to Pac.
Then here come the comments again now he's really done.
He wont with again he's damaged goods.
He goes on to win, again not the highest caliber of fighter but a win.
Keep in mind both Jennings & Foreman were fights coming off of loses.
A fighter doesn't have to be beaten to a pulp or go through brutal wars to be done.
Theirs fighters who were never in wars and just lose it from 1 fight to another for various other reasons.
I think after both loses to Tony & Pac Cotto showed lot's of boxing ability and desire.
I think he will prove once again that he's a great champ and I don't mean by beating Ricardo. I think the Ricardo fight is more of spectacle then actual matchup.
Cotto IMO can still beat the likes of; Angulo, Cintron, K9 and Tony.

That pic looks like they gave Cotto Reyes gloves and Mayorga got heavyweight Grant gloves without the logo.![]()
I like Cotto and never said he was done. Before the Foreman fight I was saying that it was outrageous to suggest Foreman was going to beat Cotto, Cotto would crush him and he did.
But Mayorga hits A LOT harder than Foreman.
And it certainly will be a spectacle if Mayorga is able to knock Cotto out !

Mayorga would beat those 2
Neither of those 2 were capable of bullying Cotto and neither is a puncher. They were picked for Cotto so he doesnt crumble mentally again. Arum is trying to squeeze money out of him and I reckon if he didnt have Margarito and Pacquiao lined up for him that he would probably have retired by now, or still be enjoying the time off before making an unsuccessfull comeback.
Cottos heart isnt in this any more, at least not when he gets in a real fight again.

Does this link work for anyone else because it says 404 error when I try and open it. Apparently its an artical on Mayorgas training.
